Chapter 351: You only look good with me

After Tristan left, Ashley changed her attire for the next scene and stepped out of the room along with Miley.

As they made their way toward the shooting spot, Ashley sensed every person’s eyes on her as she walked passed them. A deep frown marred her forehead as she felt their gaze quite strange but she skillfully ignored it and reached the spot.

Her eyes caught the sight of Tristan who was busy talking with Bernard about something but as if he sensed her presence his attention turned to her.

"Look Ashley is here" Bernard’s voice broke their stare as he motioned Ashley to come toward them.

"I must say we made the right decision of taking Ashley on board. She fits perfectly with Lisa’s character" Bernard mentioned Tristan as soon as Ashley stood by them.

Tristan winked at Ashley playfully before he turned his eyes to the screen in front of them as he watched Bernard play the scene Ashley enacted earlier.

His eyes shined brightly when he saw Ashley’s face but soon a frown marred his forehead when he saw Gabriel.

Ashley who had her eyes on Tristan stilled when she noticed the change in his aura. ’ It wasn’t a good idea to let Tristan see her scenes’ she thought and quickly butted in saying," I think we should get ready for the next scene"

Bernard broke his eyes from the screen and turned to look at Ashley who motioned him with pleading eyes pointing towards Tristan.

At first, Bernard was not able to get her signs but when he turned to watch Tristan, he felt a cold breeze pass through him and he gulped a mouth full of saliva.

Bernard knew Tristan and Ashley were dating and like a dumb, he urge Tristan to watch his girl romancing a man. ’No doubt he looked so deadly’ Bernard thought.

"Okay now... it’s time to shoot our next scene" Turning the screen blank, Bernard gave Tristan a forceful smile. He didn’t want to be the reason behind the couple’s fight especially when he was aware of Tristan’s possessiveness towards Ashley.

’Finn, my dear friend thank you for this pre-information’ Bernard thanked his friend mentally before he turned his attention back to the screen.

Tristan watched Bernard with a suspicious gaze before he turned his eyes to Ashley. Leaving the spot next to the director, he took a step and stood next to Ashley before he leaned closer and whispered into her ear," You did good"

Ashley gaped at Tristan’s remark as she thought he would express his displease watching Gabriel and her together. Just when she was about to grasp his words, Tristan’s upcoming words made her purse her lips into a thin line.

"But that dickhead, he doesn’t suit well as your partner"

Straightening, Tristan eyed Ashley as he mumbled under his breath, "You only look good with me"

Ashley’s lips twitched as she tried to fight her smile back when she watched Tristan’s gloomy face. He was back with his jealous husband trait which made Ashley think about how long he will keep his displeasure by himself.

Tristan stayed on the sets for some more time before he left. It was then after his departure, the next scene got shot, and just like that they continued with the shooting.

Gabriel was sitting inside his room when Max walked in and informed him about Tristan’s departure.

"Why was he here in the first place? With his constant interference it getting hard to approach Ashley" Slamming the script on the table furiously Gabriel expressed his displeasure.

Max noticed the annoyance in Gabriel’s tone and pursed his lips into a thin line. He could tell that his boss was getting too much involved with Ashley and her ignorance was bothering him.

’Should I tell him about what he found’ Max keenly watched Gabriel as he ran his hand over his hair.

That day on Tori’s words, he seized into the hospital’s camera scrolling every footage, and to his shock, whatever Tori mentioned he happened to notice the same thing.

The woman she collided with in the corridor appeared to be like Sandra but unfortunately, he couldn’t see her face as she had worn a scarf that hid her appearance.

Max kept observing Gabriel for a few more seconds and shook his thought away. ’No!... I don’t think it’s the right idea. I can’t disclose anything for now’ with that he stopped himself from mumbling anything to his boss.

The atmosphere inside the room had turned dense. With Gabriel’s disturbed behavior, Max found it hard to comfort him. He wished the time to pass quickly when suddenly they heard a knock on the door.

Max opened the door and found one of the crew members outside. "Okay" answering the man Max then turned to Gabriel.

"Boss we need to go, the shot is ready" Max said and watched Gabriel nod his head.

Adjusting his appearance, Gabriel got up from the couch and walked out of the room followed by Max.

Gwen was busy doing her work. Now that they were working with the Acme Group, she had to push back her annoyance and watch Linda join them every day.

Charles had personally requested Tristan to guide Linda as it was the first big project but who would’ve thought instead of taking the responsibility by himself he asked her and Karl to guide Linda?

’ Is brother taking some kind of revenge from us’ she muttered to herself eyeing the two people sitting in front of her on the couch while her fingers furiously kept tapping on the keyboard.

Tap. Tap. Tap...

Linda was busy discussing something with Karl regarding the project. Though she seemed quite professional but deep down she was trying to impress him with her determination for work.

She had to get close to Karl so she could take her next step. As she was busy eyeing the man next to her Linda felt a pair of eyes gawking her way.

Her head instantly turned to the side and she noticed Gwen’s furious eyes on them. ’This little brat...’ scoffing at Gwen mentally Linda put on her innocent mask and asked," Gwen, is there anything you want to tell?"

Gwen’s hands stopped tapping and her eyes grew large at Linda’s sudden question. She didn’t realize that she had become so obvious and even failed to notice Linda’s eyes on her.

Blinking her eyes a few times, Gwen tried to come up with a response as she didn’t want to become a laughing stock in front of Linda. She knew Linda had always looked down on her because of her age and if she happens to do something that will land her in favor then it would be a big shame for her.

"I think instead of discussing our points within ourselves why don’t we discuss them with the client? Wouldn’t it be great if we are upfront with them" Gwen stated darting her eyes between Linda and Karl with expectation in her eyes.

"But what if they think we are trying to find reasons to..."

"I think Gwen is right. It is the first rule of business and that is being upfront with your clients" Karl agreed with Gwen leaving Linda’s speechless.

Snapping her head at Karl, Linda watched him admire Gwen. Her eyes instantly turned cold as she balled her fist firmly.

"If we state our queries in front of them it would be easy to negotiate" Gwen further commented as she turned her head at Linda.

Linda quickly dropped her seriousness and force a smile, bobbing her head in agreement.

"I think you are right" she too agreed with Gwen’s point, but deep down she wanted to rip off that smile from Gwen’s face. That proud look on her face was annoying her every second.

This girl had been a hurdle, every time ruining her chance on impressing Karl, but she wouldn’t stop until she make space for herself in Karl’s life.

"I will ask my assistant to set a meeting with them" Linda suggested to which both Karl and Gwen agreed.

Giving Gwen a meaningful glance Karl resumed his work while Linda only watched them as she made a call to her assistant.

[Brown mansion]

Richard had been spending his time inside his room barely stepping out. He knew it was only his room where he wouldn’t be monitored and that will stop him from doing any mistakes.

Sitting on the couch, he kept glancing at the door waiting for Tori but even after so much time passed, he didn’t see her entering once into his room.

Folding the newspaper in his hand, Richard was about to get up when he heard a knock on the door and he stilled.

Thinking it must be her, he quickly opened back the newspaper and yelled," Come in.."

The moment the door opened and the person entered Richard’s stern look softened.

"Stella why are you bringing my breakfast to the room and where is Tori" placing the paper on the table, Richard looked behind her and frown.

"Master, Tori isn’t feeling well, so she asked me to bring a meal for you" The frown on Richard’s forehead deepened on her words as he fell silent for some time.

Giving her a nod, he asked her to keep the breakfast on a small table in front of her and once she did and left the room Richard fell extremely confused.

"Tori isn’t well" he mumbled as he eyed the closed door.
